I’ve been in Athens for almost four years and am embarassed to say that I’ve never been to Five star day until yesterday. Last week I ventured off into a Latin restaraunt and this week I wanted to try something new, but popular among the people who live in Athens. I went to Five Star Day not knowing what to expect out of a place called “five star”, but was really anxious to get over there once I heard it was a southern inspired restaraunt. My first impression of the place was that it was very “Athens.” Kind of country and kind of city all wrapped into one tiny little nook. The food there is out of this world! I got a half-baked chicken with hop and johns(black eyed peas and rice combo) , fried green tomatoes, and mac and cheese. If that’s not southern I don’t know what is. The food was prepared fresh and tasted delicious. As far as price goes it’s fairly reasonable. Meals range from $5-$10. For the price you get a lot of food which is totally ok with me .I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who hasn’t ecperienced the joys of good southern food.

Hey! I just happened onto your blog. Five Star is one of my favorite places in Athens! I REALLY recommend their barbecue sandwhich. I’m not a barbecue fan normally, but their version happens to be one of my favorite things in the world. Esp when paired with fried green tomatoes. I’m going to keep reading to see if you’ve posted any comments about East/West, my other favorite Athens eatery! Any feedback on Marti’s at Midday? I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard it’s good!
